I could, but that's quite an overhead for in-script usage. Of course, your 
time is valuable too - and probably it's best to spend it on more important 
issues. I'm just trying to report really unexpected and ugly behaviour. 

My current problem is - that i really can't use CLI commands to monitor 
asterisk availability. Recently i had issue with heavy load, that everything 
slows down to a few dialplan commands per second. I really haven't tested 
that, but i think that executing manager command in this situation would lead 
to large delays or some socket timeout. CLI responsivness was good in this 
case, however i did get a really huge amount of "Executing..." stuff for long 
period of time, and that rendered my scripts useless..
